"Teacher, is this serious?"
"Yes, this is serious," I answered Shinar lightly. "At first, I was just thinking of giving her the contract, but Mulisu and Shu En had another opinion."
"Shinari's." Shu En spoke first. "Lugalgin may accept you as his disciple on a personal promise. But, to become an A-grade student and an official schneider agent, you have to know it all."
"I agree with Shu En." Mulisu added, "To jump into the black market, in addition to ability, you also have to know the history of the black market. For now, that information is all we can provide. But, if you agree, you will know the other black records of this kingdom. And, despite knowing it, you still have to carry out the command given."
Shinar was unable to answer. His mouth was open like a koi fish, but not a single word came out.
I don't blame him. Documents held by Shinar contain the activities of the Cleinhad family that supplies children to the black market organization, child trafficking. That way keeps the Bana'an black market under control. However, with the Cleinhad family gone, the black market is out of control.
Before, I was just saying that the Cleinhad family was buying and selling people, human trafficking. However, it seems, Shinar did not expect that the Cleinhad family more often do Child Trafficking than Human Trafficking.
"So, is it true that the death of my family is inevitable? Sooner or later, will there be people who take revenge?"
When he said that, Shinar threw a glance at me. Not an angry glare, but a guilty look.
He must have thought I was taking revenge because his family had taken someone important to me, and it was not wrong.
"Yes, right. The death of your family, the Cleinhad family, is inevitable."
"Then, what will Master do? Is there a way to control the black market?"
"How to control the black market? Of course there isn't," I rejected Shinar's remarks. "If I try to control the black market, I have to make an offer that's just as tempting as the children's supply, and it doesn't exist."
Yes, there are actually several methods. But I will never use it. If I use some of those methods, Bana'an will be ruled by the black market. This kingdom will not be a safe place to live in.
"The offer I gave only controls the illegal transactions they would make. So, if they want to buy and sell weapons or want to smuggle goods to pass taxes, we will control and ensure the transaction is successful."
"So, are we going to be hostile to the police and military?"
"Police? Ja. The military? No." I half confirmed Shinar. "For the details, you have to be an agent first."
"...if I refuse this contract, will I not be your student anymore?"
He was a little quiet at the beginning. I can see his doubts.
"Not really. If you refuse this contract, you will still be my disciple. But, obviously, your practice hours will be drastically reduced. Because as you can see,"
When I said that, Shinar turned his body back.
Within a month, I've had Shinar take care of a little bit of intelligence. Yes, even though the documents he handled were only those concerning the intelligence school, information was still information.
On the other hand, for other information, he had absolutely no idea. Shu En or some other agent will come straight to me if it deals with anything other than the intelligence school.
Actually, now, I'm curious. Does he still have the motivation to be my student? The first reason Shinar wanted to be my disciple was so that he would become strong and someday get a chance to talk to his family's killer. However, since I am the murderer of his family, his first wish has already been granted without him needing to be strong.
The second reason was to want to know why his family was slaughtered. Today, at this moment, the document in his hand had given an answer. So, come to think of it, he has no more reason to remain my disciple.
Shinar should have realized that.
"All right! I accept this contract. If I can play a part in maintaining the security of this Kingdom, I don't mind?"
After saying so, Shinar signed the document. After Shinar signs, Shu En gives the needle. Shinar used the needle to pierce his thumb, then stamp it on the document.
On the other hand, I feel like this scene is anti-climactic, or maybe a cliche? I don't know? Did Shinar really say "play a role in keeping the kingdom safe"? Seriously? It turns out that naive characters in comics really exist in the real world.
